Fresh insights on Oct 29th

Laura Ramos, VP and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research Inc., has invited me to talk with her on the Forrester teleconference “Why B2B Marketing Risks Becoming Obsolete” on Wed, October 29th, 8-9 am PT.

Among other questions, she will address:

  • What factors increase the risk that marketing will become obsolete in B2B, high technology, and services firms?
  • What is B2B marketing’s biggest challenge in light of these changes?

Worth 1,000 words

Having been to many a marketing seminar since 1995, I was impressed when I got the material for this Forrester teleconference. The insights are fresh – and my expectations were high. I’ve started referring to one of the charts in client meetings. And Laura’s graphic illustrating B2B marketing 2.0 is worth 1,000 words.
